Hardrawee and Aurelian Springs, with a final County Commencement fol lowing at Halifax, April 2(1-30 was gala week for the rural schools of Halifax county. The program at each Group Commencement was di vided into two parts; first, the outgrowth of classroom work: singing, oral compositions, story telling, presentation of written composition and exhibits of art A-ork in the various schools. Prizes amounting to one hundred dollars ($100.00) for these had been offered by Mr. S. F. Patter son of Roanoke Rapids. In each case, the schools who won in the group! contests were expected to send their classroom work to the final Commencement at Halifax on Friday. The second part of the pro gram consisted of outdoor stunts, and the blue ribbons were awarded the winners at each Group Center. All the schools enjoyed a splendid picnic dinner at the noon hour at which time neighbors exchanged friendly conversations. Hobgood Group Commence ment led off on Monday even tho it rained all day. In spite of this however, there were many people present from all commun ities. Dawson School was well represented by two truckload9 of children. There were no out door stunts on account of weath er, but the Hobgood children gave their debate on "Re-valuation" to the delight of all pres ent. In spite of a downpour of rain all morning, a large crowd as sembled at the school building to enjoy the Halifax Group Com mencement. Owing to the, kind ness of the Paragon Grocery Co. South Rosemary was able to bring about sevenny-five children in trucks. One of the most in teresting features of the morn ing program was a story told b,y Evelyn Butts of Halifax School. South Rosemary thrilled the au dience with their singing. A rather unusual number was the presentation of an original play by the South Rosemary children. The sun came out in the after noon and outdoor sports were enjoyed. Darlington and Hali fax won many blue ribbons. Hardrawee had a beautiful day for their Commencement on Wednesday. Ringwood, a one teacher school, sang surprisingly well and also won the primary story telling contest. Hardra wee Seventh Grade presented a piece of written composition that attracted much attention. This was a home Geography of Har drawee School District. By re quest the debaters from this school gave their debate again and gained much applause. An extremely interesting feature of the day was the gronp of athletic contests in the afternoon. The grounds were beautifully roped and marked off and the specta tors many and enthusiastic. The most sensational thing on the morning's program of the Aurelian Springs Commencement was the very fine singing by Bear Swamp School. The child ren did well in all the contests. There were basketball games be tween Aurelian Springs and Hol lister, both of which were won by Hollister. A ludicrous Suit case Relay Race by the Com mitteemen was an individual fea ture. . The exhibits were splen everywhere. The winners of the contests in the four Group Commencements were then sent to the final pro gram at Halifax to try for the big prizes. Hon. Robert N.

Vaccination consists in giving three hypodermic injections, which are practically harmless, at one week intervals. It is your duty to yourself and family to be vaccinatod and thus make yourselves and those de pendent upon you absolutely safe from one of the most dread ful and expensive diseases that human flesh is heir to. Vaccination makes you immune from typhoid fever for only three year3. Therefore if more than three years have elapsed since your last vaccination you should be revaccinated. If you have had typhoid fever and seven or more years have elapsed you are susceptible to the disease and should be revac cinated.

COSTS HAVE ADVANCED ELSEWHERE ALSO Figures published in a recent memorandum of the Supreme Council of the Peace Conference show that general wholesale prices have advanced since 1913 approximately as follows: United States, 120 per cent Great Britain, Fance Italy Belgium WOOL FOR AUCTION Three cooperative auction sales of wool are to be held this summer by the North Carolina Sheep Breeders and Wool Grow ers Association at Asheville, Greensboro and Washington, North Carolina. The sales are to be supervised by George Evans, Secretary of the Association, and Chas. S. Jones, N. C. Livestock Market Agent, who anticipate that by assembling the wool from a number of counties several buyers from eastern markets will be attracted and competitive bidding result in highest possible prices being paid at these sales. Growers are urged to consign their wool to one of the three sales where it will be received by a committee, graded by a wool grader and sold at auction ; the right being reserved to re ject any or all bids if not satis factory. Careful records are to be kept and statement and check sent to each consignor, after actual selling expenses are de ducted. There are to be no commission charges, and expen ses will be kept to a minimum in these cooperative sales. It is expected that a commercial wool grader can be obtained to grade the wool without expense to the consignors. This plan of marketing wool cooperatively has been success ful in a number of other states, and Mr. Jones states that there is no reason why it should not be equally successful in North Carolina. Further information on these sales can be obtained by writing to Mr. Jones or Mr. Lvans at Raleigh, N. C.
